    I’ve played Rocket League for more than 2000 hours since its release, but honestly I kinda felt like it was dying. Very little interesting new content, silly decisions like removing trading. I haven’t played seriously for more than a year now. It’s surprising to me to still see it so high up

      Same reason moms play solitaire on their phones. Just something they know to pass the time, no need for anything fancy or new.

    tbh there’s so many great games at this point, I feel like 60% feels healthy enough. Like classic books.

    I read that as “6-year-old or older gamers”. I was surprised to say the least.

      Based upon how obsessed my 4yo was with Kirby and Mario and Smash last year, I wouldn’t be surprised.

    Sorry all, I got some time off in 2023 for the first time in years. My backlog must have skewed the statistics.

    I just beat today Breath of the Wild, a 7 year old game. BTW played on Yuzu since 2 months or so and have 120 hours.

    So are ages of games like Warzone counted from the release of their first version, or is each iteration a new game?

    I keep seeing this article title and wouldn’t it have been easier to say “last year most games played were over 6 years old”?
